Experience of Han Mingxiang in treating allergic rhinitis based on theory of "the nose is the orifice of the lung"
This paper introduces the clinical experience of National Master of Traditional Chinese Medicine Han Mingxiang in the diagnosis and treatment of allergic rhinitis based on the theory that “the nose serves as the orifice of the lung”.Based on this theory, Professor Han Mingxiang posits that the core pathogenesis of allergic rhinitis involves dysfunction of the lung leading to obstruction of the nasal orifice. Specifically, the fundamental cause lies in the failure of the lung to disperse and descend, resulting in nasal blockage; the predisposing factor is the invasion of wind pathogens into the lung and weakness of the defensive exterior; and the key to persistent recurrence is deficiency of both the lung and spleen with depletion of vital qi. The treatment should adhere to the principle of regulating the lung and unblocking the nasal orifice. During the acute phase, the approach focuses on dispelling wind, dispersing the lung, and unblocking the orifice, utilizing modified formulations of Shengjiang San combined with Jingfang Baidu San. In the remission phase, treatment aims to tonify the lung, boost qi, and consolidate the exterior, employing modified formulations of Yupingfeng San combined with Wenfei Tang. During the stable phase, the strategy involves reinforcing both the lung and spleen, strengthening vital qi, and consolidating the foundation, using modified formulations of Liu Junzi Tang combined with Huangqi Jianzhong Tang.
